I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Causes of Circumstances

The causes for our circumstances are often God-given opportunities for our spiritual growth. What at first appear to be thorns may prove to be divine motivation to move us closer to God. Many Christian thinkers have differed regarding this from their own perspective rather than God's perspective. As far as the reasoning mind can go, we may say that it is what God is as I have seen some of the posts here however, in the concept of faith, faith in God is not about follow deep mental work or reasoning of why circumstances do occur. Faith is about trusting God regardless what happens to us. Our human mind cannot comprehend God's will because He is beyond our knowledge. He is not accountable to anyone simply because He is God and our Creator. It is truly amazing how God works in our human hearts when we live by faith.
